Find Many Data Entries

Find Many Data Entries queries a Datastore by the values of its fields, not by id.

You build a filter, and the step returns every entry that matches - the way you search a table for all rows meeting a condition.

Note

Configure this action in the Builder. See Builder Navigation and Workspace Basics for the surrounding UI.

Configuration

Pick the Data Store, then build the Filter in the condition editor. Its fields are the datastore’s own fields, so you compose rules like Status equals Approved or Category equals IT Hardware, and combine them into groups. The step returns the matching Entries plus an Error Message.

Runtime behavior

Find Many Data Entries runs automatically and returns all matches.

  • If nothing matches, it returns an empty list - that is a success, not a failure. Check the result’s length to decide what to do next.
  • An empty filter matches everything in the datastore.
  • It fails only if no datastore is set or the datastore doesn’t exist.

Best practices

  • Filter on indexed, stable fields (like a status or category) for predictable queries.
  • Branch on whether the result is empty with Conditional Branching rather than assuming matches exist.
  • Know the exact ids already? Get Many Entries is more direct.
